Abstract:
Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics and prognosis of young patients with endometrial cancer. Methods Eighty-two cases with endometrial cancer were analyzed retrospectively,31 cases in the young group were ≤ 45 years old, and 51 cases in the old group were ＞ 45 years old. The clinical characteristics, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis between the two groups were compared. Results Twelve cases with primary infertility took up 38.7% in the young group,23 cases with less than 3 times of pregnancy occupied 74.2%, and there was no statistical difference,compared with the old group [3.9%(2/51)and 29.4% (15/51)] (P＜0.05). There was statistically significant between the two groups in myometrial invasion (P ＜ 0.05 ); while there was no significance between the two groups in pathological type, histological grade,clinical stage, 5-year survival rate and recurrence period (P＞0.05). Conclusion Infertility or less pregnancy are risk factors for endometrial cancer in the young; the degree of endometrial invasion in the young is more shallow than that in the old; there is no significant difference between the young and the old in pathological type, histological grade and clinical stage; but the prognosis is similar between the young and the old patients.
